VeriPac 355 is a non-destructive micro leak detection system for container closure integrity and package integrity testing for a wide range of products and packaging formats. This system is specifically designed to test containers for gas leaks for dry products (lyophilized vials, powder filled) as well test for liquid leaks (non-protein based liquid filled vials, prefilled syringes). The VeriPac 355 can be incorporated into protocols at any point in the handling process as it is non-destructive and requires no sample preparation. With the capability to detect leak rates as low as 0.2 cc/min, depending on packaging specifications, the VeriPac 355 is the optimal non-destructive quantitative test method for many pharmaceutical and food applications.

Umbra specializes in the filling and sealing of dry pet food and pet care products, providing a full range of equipment from basic filling and sealing machines to fully automated lines, including multi-head weighers, case loading systems, palletizing and stretch wrapping systems. Umbra's expertise in the design and development of fill technologies allows for filling of powdery and granular products, as well as longer and stickier products that tend to bunch or bridge in the filling chutes.

VeriPac systems can be easily integrated into the packaging process to improve quality, reduce waste, and provide operators with a clear understanding of package quality. VeriPac test systems are non-destructive, non-subjective and require no sample preparation. Test fixtures are designed to inspect flexible and rigid packaging. Tests can be performed in any sequence and even repeatedly on a single sample. VeriPac’s inspection method is more reliable, cost effective and efficient than destructive methods, plus it eliminates subjective, misleading results that vary from operator to operator.

The VeriPac 410 utilizes a combination of vacuum decay technology and differential force measurement to identify defective packages. Multiple packages can be tested in a single test cycle, and the 410 identifies which package or cavity is defective.

Complementing the high cost of medical device manufacturing, there is a high value placed on the sterility and quality of the final product which are the main reasons for successful integration of Seal-Scan® airborne ultrasound seal inspection for medical device packaging.

Seal-Sensor™ utilizes ultrasound technology that provides non-contact seal inspection solutions for offline laboratory use and high speed 100% online applications. Seal-Sensor is a very rapid, reliable method that provides an instant reading of seal presence and quality.

The VeriPac tester is connected to a specially designed drawer-style test chamber for easy handling and testing convenience. Each VeriPac D-Series model achieves a specific range of test sensitivity and is available with two test chamber drawer sizes depending upon the package size and specifications.

VeriPac 455 is a non-destructive inspection system that offers unique integrity testing approaches, permitting highly sensitive micro leak detection of empty and pre-filled syringes, liquid filled and lyophilized vials, and other rigid containers. Testing these types of products demands the highest level of sensitivity, repeatability, and accuracy, and the VeriPac 455 is up to the task.

VeriPac micro leak testers evaluate and analyze the integrity of vials with precision and repeatability. Test components are optimized for high sensitivity applications and high resolution requirements of the pharmaceutical industry.

The study addresses the common concern that vacuum decay is not a suitable test solution for detecting microleaks in parenteral containers if the product contains large molecule or proteinaceous liquids.

Ophthalmic products come in a variety of package formats. The liquid-filled packages are often soft containers with snap-on or screw caps, and include foil lidded blister packs for single-use contacts.

Vacuum decay is a test method that has been proven over decades and improved with new technology innovations. It provides significant savings by not wasting product for a leak test, and generates return on investment in under six months for many products.

As more and more packages and processors convert to flexible packaging from more traditional forms of rigid methods including metal cans, PET and glass bottles or jars, they are confronted with the concern and challenge of how do they insure or equal the seal integrity levels from flexible packaging that they have come to expect from these more traditional packaging methods.

Untold millions of medicinal tablets and capsules are produced every year, and many of the over-the-counter varieties are encased in blister packs for protection. Existing manual methods for inspecting these packages are subjective and lack repeatability, while electronic techniques have to date been stymied by the great variation in blister packages.

A pouch seal is a structural element that joins flat film material and a component designed to close a pouch airtight. Traditional test methods (e.g. peel strength or burst), can measure the joint strength of the pouch seal using destructive methods that are often unreliable. Submitted by PTI Inspection Systems

The ability to detect leaks is necessary to ensure consistency and integrity of packages. It is also important to detect leaks and defects that are not visibly detectable. VeriPac's non-destructive technology is capable of detecting package leaks and invisible defects using an absolute or differential pressure transducer leak test system.

Blister package manufacturing for tablets and capsules has process and material parameters that are unique to each product. Barrier properties of blister packaging are primarily designed to eliminate moisture ingress, a result of H2O molecules passing through micro leaks over extended periods of time. By Oliver Stauffer, PTI Packaging and Inspection Systems

Most current test methods for blister packages are destructive, time consuming, not sensitive, unreliable, and dependent on the properties of the package lidding material. Small semi-rigid, flexible, and multi-cavity blister packages do not have enough air inside the package to reliably detect defects by simple vacuum decay methods.

The blister packaging process for tablets and capsules is unique to the packaging industry in so many ways. Blister packaging will always exist due to its practicality; but, the things that make blister packaging difficult to work with also make it a desired product presentation.

The purpose of stability testing is to provide evidence on how the quality of a substance or product varies with time under the influence of a variety of environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and light, which enables you to establish or modify recommended storage conditions, retest periods, and shelf life or dating period, as the case may be.
